How we handle your personal information

When you create a user account for Polar services, we ask for some personal information (for example your name, e-mail address, gender and age). We need this information in order to provide you with a personalized experience with our services. For example, we use your age info to give you a more accurate calculation of burnt calories. We trust all the information you give us to be accurate.

We may collect some information about you when you buy products from our online store, use Polar’s services, or contact our Customer Care. If you only subscribe to Polar’s newsletter, the only information we ask for is your e-mail address. We only process your personal information for the purposes listed in this Privacy Notice and for the service-specific purposes on which you can find more information by clicking on the links provided. You can also contact our Customer Care for more information on the handing of personal information with regard to each service.

When you use Polar products or services, Polar collects information about you and may combine that information to any other personal information Polar has collected about you for the same purpose. If we have collected information about you for other purposes, we do not combine these. In addition, we may use your personal information to ensure the proper functioning and safety of Polars’ products, to verify your identity, and to investigate frauds and other misuse of the products. We may also process your information as part of our research and product development activities – we’re continuously developing new functionalities and improving the existing ones. For these activities, your information is always anonymized and it cannot be connected to you.

If you use any of our fee-based services, we can save your payment card information with your permission to facilitate further payments. This information is saved in encrypted format in a third party system. We select our service providers carefully and ensure that they meet the requirements for safe and reliable handling of information set for that sector. When processing payment information, we comply with applicable legislation and the terms and conditions set and monitored by payment service providers.

If you wish, you may also share information from Polar’s services to systems or services offered by a third party, such as Facebook or Strava. Polar is not responsible for any information transferred elsewhere or the accuracy of the information outside Polar’s system. Each service provider’s information security and privacy practices are applied to such information.

Security

There are always risks associated with providing personal data, whether in person, by phone or via the internet or other technologies, and no system or technology is completely safe or "tamper"/"hacker" proof. Polar takes appropriate precautions to prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of your personal data. For example, Polar uses encryption and firewall technology when collecting personal data. If Polar sites support online transactions, it will use industry standard security measures to protect the confidentiality and security of these transactions. We use industry standard security measures, such as SSL authentication, to ensure that your credit card information, as well as other personal data submitted as part of the buying process, is appropriately safe from third party interception.

How we handle sensitive personal information

The majority of Polar’s services are based on data collected on our products. Some of the collected data (such as heart rate data) is such by nature that we must ask for your permission to collect or process it. This permission is requested separately for each service that processes data that requires specific permission.

Handling of personal information and its transfer outside the EU

Polar’s services and products may be delivered using resources and servers located in various countries (such as Finland and the U.S.). Therefore, your information may be processed outside the country that the service you are using is based in, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) where the standard of protection of privacy does not meet the requirements set by the European Commission (such as the U.S.). When you register for a service (for example Polar Flow) which requires information transfer to another country for processing, we request your permission for the transfer. When transferring information, we comply with all applicable laws to guarantee sufficient protection of your privacy. In general, when transferring your personal data from one country to another we apply the terms of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield agreements or those of agreements based on European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. You can find more information on the transfer of information and related security measures on our FAQ section. You may also contact us using the contact information provided below.

In line with the principles mentioned above, your information may be transferred or access to it may be permitted to Polar’s subcontractors (such as the supplier of our Customer Care system) that carry out tasks related to Polar’s web site, products and services. Our subcontractors are not authorized to use the personal information for any other purpose and Polar’s subcontractors’ services are always covered by a confidentiality clause.

Polar never discloses any of your personal information without a separate permission from you, unless it is necessary for handling your order, carrying out your request, or managing our interactive customer programs. Information may, however, be disclosed if necessary because of law, a court order, or a regulation or request issued by authorities.

For statistical purposes, Polar may deliver collected anonymized statistical data on its customers, sales, traffic types, exercise information, and similar web site information to reputable third parties. These statistics do not contain identifiable personal information.

Storage and accuracy of information

We want to keep our database up-to-date and we regularly delete out-of-date and unnecessary personal information. We only store the information as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or required by law. You can find more information on the storage times in the service-specific sections. You may also contact us using the contact information provided below.

In some of Polar’s services, you can manage your personal information yourself. We recommend that you check the accuracy of your information occasionally and correct it when necessary. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide.

Your rights

You always have the right to access your personal information. In some of the services, direct access is possible, and when necessary, our Customer Care can assist you and deliver a copy of the personal information we have of you. You have the right to know what information pertaining to you has been collected, what this information is used for, and the parties, if any, that it has been disclosed to. To verify your information in order to carry out your request, we may have to ask for additional information.

Polar is allowed to handle your personal information when the handling is based on a legitimate interest. We use this legal basis in some cases for our research and development activities as we constantly want to develop and improve our services. You have the right to object to the handling of your personal information for these purposes. In our R&D operations, your personal information is always anonymized and therefore it cannot be connected to you.

You always have the right to prohibit direct marketing. If you wish to stop receiving e-mails from Polar, please follow the "unsubscribe" instructions within each e-mail communication. If you have created a user account, you can do this directly via our service. Polar will not provide or share any mailing lists to third parties for promotional purposes. E-mails related to services (to confirm a purchase, etc.) generally do not offer an option to unsubscribe as they are necessary to provide the service you requested. Such e-mails also include notifications about changes to our Privacy Notice and Terms of Use.

You have the right to have any of your information corrected or deleted either by doing it directly yourself or by sending a request to our Customer Care. If you want to have your information deleted, we will delete your user credentials and all information and data pertaining to you. After we’ve deleted your information, you can only use the service by creating a new user account.

According to law, you have the right to refuse profiling and automated decision-making. You can also request that the handling of your information be restricted, also when you have prohibited the handling of your information and the assessment of the legal basis for the handling of your information has not been completed.

You also have the right to withdraw your consent to handle your information in each service where we have requested your consent. The consent can be withdrawn within the service. Note that for some services, the withdrawal of consent prevents us from offering the service to you.

You have the right to receive your information from Polar’s systems in a machine-readable format when the handling of your information is based on your consent or on the execution of an agreement. The transfer of information is possible directly via the Flow service, for example. You can also request the transfer of your information to a third party. Polar is not responsible for the third party’s system’s ability to process the information in the format that is used for the transfer.

If you suspect misuse of the information, you may submit a complaint to the data protection ombudsman or a similar authority. Contact information for data protection ombudsmen in various countries is available on our Privacy FAQ page.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. You can read more about them in our cookie policy.

Error logs

To offer the best possible service in the event of a problem, we store error data on our devices (“Error log”). When you synchronize your device with Polar’s service, the error log is copied onto our server. The error log data is stored for a maximum of two months to ensure we have the data available to us if you contact our Customer Care because of an error or problem.

Users under 13 years of age

Our policy is to request that customers under the age of 13 do not make purchases or engage in other legal acts on Polar websites without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. For example, a user account for a Polar service can only be created for a user under 13 years of age with permission from a guardian.

This Privacy Notice was updated on May 15th 2018. You can view the previous versions here. We may occasionally make changes to this Privacy Notice, and we notify our customers about such changes by e-mail or via our services. If you have any questions regarding Polar’s services or products, you may contact our Customer Care. You can also find information about privacy in our Privacy FAQ.

Polar Flow and Flow App

Polar Flow is a free cloud-based fitness and training app & web service that helps you track your training, activity and sleep data as well as analyze your progress. It works together with your Polar product and acts as your automatic training diary: all your training, activity and sleep data syncs from your product to your Polar Flow account. Before registering for Polar Flow, you need to read the service’s Terms of Use and Polar’s Privacy Notice. You will be asked to approve the service’s Terms of Use. By approving the Terms of Use, you enter into agreement with Polar. We will also ask you to indicate that you have read Polar’s Privacy Notice.

We would like to keep you up to date on all our news, offers and updates, so we’ll also ask for consent for marketing messages. Refusal is always the default setting for this request. You can change your selections anytime from your account settings.

During registration, we also ask for your consent with regard to a couple of matters related to data handling. We ask for these consents in order to meet the requirements for the protection of privacy set by various countries: consent for the handling of personal information, consent for the handling of sensitive personal information (including heart rate data), and consent for the transfer of data to a country other than your home country (Polar uses servers provided by a third party to produce its Flow service). These servers may be located either within the EU or outside it. The actual user data is stored on servers located within the EU but information such as the system’s monitoring data is saved on service providers’ servers located outside the EU. You can read more about data transfer and related protective mechanisms here.

For persons under the age of 13, we request consent for the handling of data from a guardian.

After registration, you will be sent a message to verify your e-mail address and to confirm that the account was created intentionally. The account must be verified within 30 days.

You can choose whether the exercise and route information you save in the Polar Flow service is displayed to other users. When you create a user account, your privacy settings are set to private by default and your information is not displayed to other users. You can change these settings at any time. If you wish, you may also share information on Polar’s services on a third party’s systems, such as Facebook or Strava. Polar is not responsible for data once it is transferred out of Polar’s system, and we no longer have any influence on the data. You are responsible for managing the information you share or transfer out of the system.

As Polar strives to continuously develop its services, the exercise data you save in the Polar Flow service may be used to realize Polar’s legitimate interests in research and product development. For this purpose, the data is utilized in an anonymized format and individual users cannot be identified. The information may also be used for sending marketing messages if you have granted permission for this, either in connection with registration or at a later date.

Currently, the information is stored in the Polar Flow service until you decide to delete your account. If we make any changes to our data storage periods, we will notify you.

Polar Club

Polar Club is a heart rate based group fitness and exercise app that enables tracking and displaying club members' real-time performance data, such as heart rate, intensity and calories burned, during an exercise class. The participants’ workout summaries will automatically upload to Polar Flow where they can keep track of their progress and reach their goals. When a fitness club purchases Polar Club, it signs an agreement with Polar. Under this agreement, Polar acts as the data processor while the club is the data controller. The club is responsible for what information is saved in the system and how it is handled. The club is also responsible for the accuracy of the users’ information and data-related requests by individual users (such as requests to delete the information).

Information on the clubs that use the service is collected in the Polar Club register. A username is created for the administrator designated by the club (Club Admin). For this, the person’s e-mail address is saved in the system.

Information on exercise classes is stored on the club’s iPad for a month. Other data saved on the device includes the participants’ training-related data and an electronic ID code to identify the individuals, which can be used to connect the username used in the registration to the Flow database. With this ID code, participants’ training data can be transferred to their personal Flow account. The club’s staff cannot identify users on the basis of these ID codes. The instructor’s ID data is also stored on the iPad. Participants’ actual Flow usernames are not stored on the iPad. All the user information stored under the Flow username is located in the Flow service, and the club does not have access to these accounts. The Polar Flow service’s data is saved on Polar’s service provider’s servers. These servers may be located either within the EU or outside it. Read more about data transfer and related protective mechanisms here.

Customers may participate in exercise classes via their existing Flow account, by creating an account in conjunction with signing up for the class, or by signing up as a Visitor.

Customers with a Flow account:

The customer can sign up for a Club exercise class using an existing Flow account. Alternatively, the user can create a Flow account in conjunction with signing up. No personal information provided in connection with the creation of the Flow account is stored on the iPad. The only information stored on the iPad is the participants’ electronic ID and exercise data. The exercise data of the customers who use their Flow account to sign up for the class is automatically transferred from the club’s iPad to the Polar Flow service using the ID code.

Customers who sign up as a Visitor:

Customers may also sign up for Club exercise classes as a Visitor, in which case the participants provide a name they want to have displayed on the screen during the class, such as a nickname or any other ID (e.g. a word or a string of characters). No personal information is collected or saved. Participants who signed up as Visitors may store their exercise data after the class by creating a Flow account or using an existing Flow account.

The Polar Club solution also offers clubs and their customers a channel for discussing the exercise classes and other similar matters within the club’s own community. The Community service can be found in Flow’s Community - Clubs section. When participating in discussions in the service, the participants may share information related to them if they so wish. When necessary, the club is responsible for moderating the discussions.

You can contact our Customer Care for further information on Polar Club’s register.

Polar Team Solutions

Polar Team Pro

Polar Team Pro is a player monitoring solution for professional sports teams. It combines GPS and motion monitoring data with heart rate information. With Polar Team Pro, the coach can monitor the team’s training session via an iPad (must be bought separately) without a base station or antenna. Training data can also be collected after training by syncing the Team Pro Sensors via Team Pro Dock. Monitoring of players’ performance offers valuable and accurate information to assist the coaching team in its analysis work.

When a team buys Polar Team Pro, it signs an agreement with Polar on the use of the service. Under this agreement, Polar acts as the data processor while the team is the data controller. The team is responsible for what information is saved in the system and how it is handled. The team is also responsible for the accuracy of the information and data-related requests by individual players (such as requests to delete the information).

Polar Team Pro collects data on the teams that use the service and their members. A username is created for the administrator designated by the team (Team Pro Admin). For this, the person’s e-mail address is saved in the system. We will send a message to verify the e-mail address and to confirm that the account was created intentionally. The account must be verified within 30 days in order to use Polar Team Pro. The administrator creates a team in the system by adding the team members’ information (such as the player number, name, and date of birth) in the Team Pro service. The data is saved on the server of Polar’s service provider. Training data is saved on the team’s iPad for two months at the most and transferred from there to the Team Pro service. Individual players’ personal Polar Flow accounts can be connected to the Team Pro service, where the coach can view them. The individual Polar Flow accounts are located in the Polar Flow service from where the data is saved on Polar’s service provider’s servers. These servers may be located either within the EU or outside it. Read more about data transfer and related protective mechanisms here.

You can contact our Customer Care for further information on the Polar Team Pro register.

Polar Team

The Polar Team app is a player monitoring solution that provides real-time heart rate data for indoor team sports with Polar heart rate sensors and an iPad (must be bought separately) .

Polar GoFit

Polar GoFit is designed for students, teachers and school staff to enable them to view and measure the students’ heart rates and physical activity levels and to perform physical ability measurements in schools. The Polar GoFit service consists of Polar GoFit application, Polar GoFit web site (www.polargofit.com, www.polargofit.cn), and Polar’s heart rate and activity devices compatible with GoFit.

When a school purchases GoFit, it enters into agreement with Polar or its representative. Under this agreement, Polar acts as the data processor while the school is the data controller. As the data controller, the school is responsible for what information is saved in the system and how it is handled. The school is also responsible for the accuracy of the students’ information and data-related requests by individual students (such as requests to delete the information). The school is also responsible for requesting permission from the student or, in case of a minor, their guardians before adding a student to the service.

Information on the teachers and students who use the service is saved in the GoFit register. A username is created for a contact teacher designated by the school (and for any additional teachers). For this, the person’s e-mail address is saved in the system. The teacher adds the student's user information (such as name) in the system after receiving permission from the guardians. Students may also use their accounts independently to view their exercise data, for example. GoFit training data is stored on the service provider’s servers. These servers are located either in the EU or the U.S. The information pertaining to our Chinese GoFit customers is saved on a service provider’s server located in China. Read more about the transfer of data and related protective mechanisms here. When necessary and with permission from the student or, in case of a minor, their guardian, information may be shared to a third party within the school environment. When necessary, information may be shared to a third party for purposes agreed on separately.

The information is deleted from the GoFit system when the agreement between Polar and the school expires.

You can contact our Customer Care for further information on the Polar GoFit register.

Polar API / Polar Open AccessLink

Polar Open AccessLink is Polar’s proprietary application programming interface (API) that provides a direct information sharing link between the Polar ecosystem and third party data systems. With Polar Open AccessLink our customers may transfer data related to their personal info, training and physical activity from Polar devices and the Polar Flow system to a third party system that appears on the list of available systems, such as other fitness and training apps. Polar customers may also transfer similar data from third party systems to Polar devices and Polar Flow (this feature may not be available at the time this version Privacy Notice becomes active).

For third party developers:

To third party systems, Polar offers the Polar Open AccessLink interface and instructions that enable the third party to register its own application in the Polar system and to develop a feature for receiving data.

The developers use their Polar Flow usernames to log in to the Polar API/Polar Open AccessLink service. A new application is registered by providing information on the application and the company. Approval of Terms of Use is required. No personal information is collected in connection with registration; instead the application is linked to the Flow account used for the registration. Several applications can be linked to the same Flow account.

Users are responsible for linking the third party services they want to use with their Polar Flow account. The information is retrieved by the third party services or sent by Polar Electro when the user synchronizes data to the Polar Flow service or when user transmits sensor data to third party. Polar is not responsible for data once it is transferred out of Polar’s system and it no longer has any influence on the data. Users are responsible for managing the information they share or transfer out of the system.

You can contact our Customer Care for further information on the Polar Flow register.
